Tony Scott Dead: 'Top Gun' Director Dies After Jumping Off Bridge

[cascadiance]

41. And Ridley and he were also working on a film based on Bill O'Reilly's book "Killing Lincoln"...

"Top Gun" was based on the life of Randy Duke Cunningham, another disgusting politician that at one point was my congressman. Don't know if in the sequel they were going to try to make Tom Cruise's character more of a fictional departure from Cunningham's character.

But if Tony had to deal with possibly both Duke Cunningham and Bill O'Reilly, I wonder if that was bugging him?

Coincidentally just this weekend, I had someone relate a personal story about O'Reilly that confirmed for me how disgusting that man is. I could see how perhaps having to work with that bum might help put someone on edge.

Ridley Scott is one of my favorite film directors and Tony certainly is up there. Hoping that Ridley doesn't let this affect him too much and still continues his great work and gets the sequel done to perhaps my favorite film "Blade Runner" that he's supposed to be working on now. Must be tough though, given the circumstances!
